Brother Bile surrendered to Zhao Song, and Gaochang City did not spend a single soldier, this is not a secret that can be hidden at all, once the news came out, it quickly spread throughout the entire Western Regions, the entire river.

Some of the small works that had been dormant here had sent the news back as quickly as possible, and among them were naturally people sent by Sikara or Seljuk.

By this time it was already dark.

In the royal palace of Sikara, Mahemu II was dealing with state affairs when he received the news.

As a semi-nomadic and semi-settled country, and as the monarch of a country with a fairly stable power structure, Mahemu II still had a lot of government affairs to deal with on a daily basis. If he is willing to work hard all the time.

The palace was patrolled by a succession of guards, and Maheki II, who had only recently ascended to the throne of Khan by violent means with the support of the Seljuks, did not have the courage to sleep peacefully without being surrounded by guards.

His father was killed by his uncle.

Mahemu II did not dare to complain about his uncle at all, because his uncle was the Sudan of the Seljuk Empire, the most powerful monarch in the entire river. Since he was a child, he has been instilled by his mother again and again how great Seljuk is, and he can't raise the slightest bit of rebellion against his uncle Sanjar!

Even he did not share the madness of his father, Muhammad bin Suleiman.

Sikara has been a vassal of the Seljuks for many years, and his father is the brother-in-law of the Imperial Sudan, so why change the master?

Is it more fragrant to be a vassal of Zhao Song than a vassal of the Seljuks?

Ma Heimu was puzzled by a hundred. But this did not delay After the incident leaked, Sanjar unceremoniously killed his brother-in-law, and then pushed his nephew to the throne.

At present, a group of palace people have been cleansed out of this palace, and there may be blackened blood stains in that corner.

But Ma Heimu still didn't dare to let his guard down, who knows if there are any of the remaining people who are his father's diehards, or those who plan to avenge their blood relatives?

Maheki's way of dealing with it is to work hard to take care of state affairs.

In this way, he can become familiar with and control the entire Xikara Dynasty in a short period of time, and secondly, he can establish a good image of himself.

Even his god-like uncle sent him a compliment, saying that he was not wrong!

When Ma Heimu saw the letter, his whole person was excited.

At this time, the information sent back from Gaochang was sent to him by an attendant.

Delivering the information, the attendant hurriedly retreated. Only Ma Heimu II was left looking at the information in his hand, and his anger rose secretly.

"Brother Bile really surrendered to Zhao Song!"

"Smack!"

The information was smashed a few times, Ma Heimu II's face turned pale, he took a deep breath, held back the fragrance of his mouth at Bilgo, and turned his brain with all his might.

Although it had long been expected that it would be a matter of time before the Gaochang Uighurs fell into the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty, it was so easy for the Song people to succeed, and the time was so short and the situation was so stable that it still made Ma Heimu II feel uncomfortable.

But now, no amount of anger will help, he needs to sort out the next direction of the situation in the river, and he thinks about the consequences.

In this way, the Uighurs of Gaochang not only could not hold back the Song people, but in turn could become a great help for the Song people to march into the river.

One plus and one minus, one plus and one minus, the difference is huge.

Ma Heimu calmed down, and instead of being angry, he became worried.

The Song people were an extremely powerful force, or the Han people were a powerful force.

Although four hundred years have passed since the Battle of Talas, the peerless style left by Li Tang's army in the Celestial World is still clearly engraved in his mind.

That was ten times the strength of the Tang army, and with the traitor of the Qarluqs as the internal response, the Abbasid army was only able to defeat Gao Xianzhi's 20,000 Tang army, but even so, Gao Xianzhi was able to leave the battlefield with thousands of remnants.

Back then, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Anxi Army shook the entire heavens!

Because the heavenly army led by Abu and Ziyad in the Battle of Talas was based on the elite soldiers of Khorasan, the birthplace of the Abbasid Dynasty, and gathered a coalition of the countries of the river.

Their combat power represents the combat power of the main force of the Celestial World.

But it turned out to be so miserable!

Ten times the enemy's army, waiting for the enemy to drive straight into more than 700 miles to wait for work, and after many days of fierce fighting, they had to rely on the Qarlu people's rebellion to defeat the Anxi army of the Tang Dynasty.

That is simply to say that if the armies of the two sides compete fairly, the soldiers and horses of the heavenly side are not the opponents of the Tang army at all.

Ma Heimu had to have a doubt, even if he admired the Seljuk Empire, he had to have doubts about "whether the Seljuk soldiers and horses could resist the Song army".

This question can be directly linked to the life and death of Sikhara.

After nearly 400 years, the Central Plains army has made a comeback again. A dynasty that has just swept away the enemies of its neighbors, the country is rich and strong, and the hearts of the people are attached, and a strong empire has solved all the troubles and hidden dangers......

Which is stronger or weaker between them and the Li Tang army back then?

After all, the people who fell on this army were the famous party members and the Jurchens who were famous in the river.

The latter destroyed the once invincible Khitan Daliao in just a few years, and now the Yelu Dashi in the Weizhen River is just a defeated subordinate of the Jurchens, and the spirit of the bottom of the cauldron ......

But such a powerful and emerging empire was wiped out so easily by the Song army.

An unpleasant premonition rose in Ma Heimu's heart.

So much so that his worries suppressed his anger against Bileco.

After a long while, Ma Heimu got up and left the palace, and galloped all the way to the military camp outside the city with his entourage. His chest felt like something was pressing down, and he was about to breathe. At this time, only the army, only force, can relieve some of the heavy pressure in his heart.

When he returned to the palace from the barracks, the pressure in Ma Heimu's heart was still not small, but he saw the road ahead and saw the direction of the way forward!

In the future, his focus will be on stabilizing society and restoring the army. The former will allow him to build a solid foundation, and the specific way to do this is to delegate power to the local Ikta.

Iqta is an all-weather military fiefdom system. However, unlike the fiefdom system of Western Europe at the same time, Iqta was not hereditary. The feudal lords who had acquired Iqta had the right to levy exorbitant rents on the peasants, but they had no land ownership, let alone hereditary inheritance.

But when all systems are born, the rulers always expect too much perfection from them. At this point, the ills of the centuries-old Iqtar system have been exposed. All countries in the Heavenly Realm have local powerful factions that transform the fiefdom into hereditary status, and once this happens, then large and small feudal separatist forces will be formed, and they can even compete with the central dynasty.

Naturally, this is the case in Sikara, and the situation is quite serious.

Maheimi II didn't want to compromise yet, but now he felt he should be more flexible. In this way, the consequences are so much not to mention first, but now, it will definitely be able to win people's hearts. It has received strong support from local powerful factions.

In this way, even if his ascension to the throne this time is criticized, the situation will be stabilized!

Then it was time to restore the army, especially the Ghulam Guards and the Iqtar Heavy Cavalry, which were directly under him.

The Iqta Heavy Cavalry is a military force that all Celestial Dynasties rely on, otherwise why would they need the Iqta system?

As for the Ghulam Guard, at the peak of the Qarakhanid Dynasty, it was a strong army that fought all over Central Asia, and played a huge role in the Qalas' destruction of the Persian Samanid Dynasty and the southern border of Khotan. The number also expanded from 2,000 to 5,000, 7,000, and even 15,000 in the early 11th century.

But with the division of the East and West Kara, the Ghulam Guards were no longer in good shape.

In particular, the state of the Sikhara people was declining, and after submitting to the Seljuks, the Ghulam Guard, which was directly under the royal family, gradually shrank to only three or two thousand men. A previous coup d'état, the scale was not large, but there were always some people who were affected. Ma Heimu knew very well that the guards under his command did not even have 2,000 people.

Increase, must increase!
